Product description
Afghan Dried Apricots are sun‑ripened fruit that’s gently dried to preserve its bright, tangy‑sweet flavor, rich orange color, and chewy texture. No added sugar or preservatives—just pure fruit with a fragrant, naturally sweet bite. They work as a wholesome snack straight from the bag, or as an easy way to lift both sweet and savory dishes. From trail mixes and breakfast bowls to baking and stews, these apricots bring a sunny, fruit‑forward note that feels both everyday and special.

INSIDE SCOOP: Quick facts

• Naturally tangy‑sweet, no added sugar

• Good source of dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants

• Sun‑dried and minimally processed

• Chewy texture that softens quickly when soaked

CULINARY TWIST: Chop it, bake it, stew it
Dice into granola, yogurt, oatmeal, or salads for little bursts of fruit flavor. Fold into muffins, cookies, or energy bars for chewy texture. Simmer with spices to make chutneys, sauces, or marinades, or add to rice, pilafs, and tagines for a gentle sweet‑tart balance.

ABOUT DRIED APRICOTS: Good to know
Afghan varieties are prized for their natural acidity, aroma, and vivid color—traits that give dried apricots a bolder, more flavorful profile than many milder types. They’re a traditional pantry staple across Central and South Asia, enjoyed in both everyday snacks and festive cooking.

HOW TO STORE: Keep them fresh
Seal tightly and store in a cool, dry place for up to 12 months.
